The Beaufort County lettuce and Rjmaine and potatoes weie a very ;^a<1 that the folks down there are not getting good prices for the crop. John Marscher showed me an ex periment which he is conducting with lettuce, which proved quite instruc tive to me. He ha* twelve rows, each fertilized in a different way. Three row s with all the nitrogen fiom organic sources, three rows with all the nitrogen from mineral sources, and three rows with all the nitrogen derived 50 per cent from otganic and 50 per cent from mineral sources. In each row of each set of three, he has. his potash derived from (1) AH muriate of pota*h (2) All Sulphate of Potash and (3) 50 per cent from muriate and 50 per cent from Sul phate. In each case where he ha g derived hi 8 potash from the Muriate hi* let tuce looks by far the be*t but this is especially true where the nitrogen is ‘Trcm the 50-50 elements and hi* pot ash from Muriate. The other, three rows are check plots, where no fertilizer is used. It is a very interesting experiment and 1 would advise every lettuce grower of Beaufort and other countie* to take a look at it. The little field is just in front of Mr. Marscher’s house. He told me that he wa s running the me experiment on potatoes also, but I did-not get a chance to sec that orte last week. Mr. J. VV. Yarn’s garden peas, fer tilized with 1.000 pounds of 7-5-7 look veiy promising. 1 don’t think I ever saw a* many blossomg bn a pea crop. Over at Allendale, I spent a couple of hours with Mr. Jim WaYren, watch- ing hift asparagus harvest—and it is a ie*al harvest too. Mr. Warren has a beautiful “layout’ —big fields are in the pink of condi tion, plenty of organic matter in the soil-*, long straight rows, plenty of fencing for hogs, so that he can turn ’em in when he gets through with his various crops. He >5 a great believer in ample fer tilization for all crops, and so far has out down 1,000 pounds of a 4-4-7 per acre cn his asparagus, and he ex- pectgTo put another thousand pounds after the cutting season. His asparagug shows high quality, and he stated to me that last Monday morning wa? the first time this sea- sen that^aer 50 per cent of his cut ting hat^Rm under COLOSSAL And that this was because it was a Monday cutting and the “grass” had grow nso fast and tall.

It can How does one determine the coming of Easter, the exact Sunday upon which it will occur every year? The answer is simple/ Easter al ways comes on the first Sunday after the full moon after March 21.. In the past, many people have been confused by Easter occurring some times in March and other timea in April. It depends entirely upop the moon. As a result of these studies, astro- nomistg hav e determined the dates upon which Easter will occur for the next 50 years. In 1934, 1945 and 1956, Easter will occur on th \ first day of April.
